NEWSLETTER, NOVEMBER 2008

The collective that brought you The Big She-Bang 3 is now known as FOR THE BIRDS.

After many months of meeting, the feminist collective that brought you The Big She-Bang has finally settled on a name. We have established our mission statement as a group, assembled the beginnings of a feminist distro, and have begun curating more feminist events! The Big She-Bang was and is an annual event that has been curated by many different women over the years, and will continue to be booked by For the Birds and our comrades.

MISSION STATEMENT

FOR THE BIRDS is a New York City-based feminist collective. We are interested in establishing alternative spaces that promote the creative interests of women and women-identified community members. For The Birds is a collaborative group of organizers with backgrounds in feminist social justice work and various artistic pursuits. Through DIY feminist cultural activism, For the Birds aims to empower and support radical women of action.

As a collective, we intend to connect with other groups to create a feminist network through a collaborative blog, shared resources, semi-annual zine, and future events. We aim to foster more of a visible presence of women at community events with a distro featuring feminist voices. We plan to host events like skill-shares, discussions, forums, art and music shows.
